Runt Packet forward

Hi,

Are Runts to be simply discarded by Ethernet controller or they need to be forwarded to the upper layers for any other protocols or applications?

Thanks,

The malformed packets (including those with CRC errors) should not be forwarded.

But you may elect to forward them if the packet filter includes NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_PROMISCUOUS.
